It seems unfortunate that an appeal to the students has to be made to get them to attend so important a convoca tion of the University. aucn meetings as tnese are the unifying forces which tend to keep the growing University a more unified body. The old institution of chapel for "every body, the "bull sessions' around the well, the going to the post office for mail, etc., are all things of the past. We, however, have left the pep rallies before leading foot ball games, the student daily newspaper, and such general mass meetings as that which comes Monday night. Besides the advantage of seeing who is honored with awards, and at tending a well worked out pro gram which President Albright has promised, weNhave in such meetings the opportunity to dis cuss our common problems, and to exchange ideas ' with'' each other. These occasional mass meet ings, our almost realized stu dent union, and student publi cations have- a great unifying effect. They are invaluable to the University andv should be heartily supported " by every Carolina man. K.C.R. The First Move It seems that the Di and Phi are "gunning" for the German club. After the two societies had passed a bill to take away the power of the German club over social affairs of the Univer- sity, representatives of the club were given a chance to defend themselves before a joint ses sion of the two "societies. Al though represented by . Presi dent Albright .of the student union, President Ramsay of the Di, "Bim" Ferguson of the stu dent council, and McBride Flem ing-Jones of the Publications Union board, the German club again went down before the ver bal attacks of the senators and representatives. Great power has been extend ed to the German club in the past but it is time that more of the students were represented I 1 ft J A on tne executive committee or the club if we are going to give them absolute power over the social life of the University. For sometime liberalism has been at a low ebb on this cam- pus. btudent controlled activi ties have been becoming a thing of the past. Publications, ath letics, and other student activi ties have also been rapidly com ing under the control of the fac ulty and individual organiza tions. With the taking away of the power of the German club as the first step in the formation of a more liberal University, other student activities will fall in j line. The added impetus given by the decline of the power of the German club will foster in the minds of the student mem bers of the Publications Union board, the athletic council, and other controlling bodies of stu dent activities, a mental deci sion, the outgrowth of which will be a more liberal and a greater University of North Carolina. T.H.B. With ContemDoraries The Yale Situation - The decisive editorial stand taken by the . Yale News i in favor of revising Yale athletic control to conform with the plan introduced at Pennsylvania in February and more recently followed at Columbia is one that will probably be given serious consideration by the adminis tration at New Haven. The News sees considerable merit in the stand taken at both institutions in regard to unified academic and athletic direction and in the decision to place the director of physical education in a professional capacity while it wisely pays no attention to the endowment plan fostered by President Butler of Colum bia. In advocating the adpotion of a new system at Yale, the News rightly places considerable weight upon the developments along the line of intramural sports which might be expected. The main difficulty at Yale seems to rest mainly with the diversified control vested in the hands of the 24 members of the Board of Control of Athletics. The unwieldy group has been the subject of. attacks before and, in the opinion of the News, should be limited in size while the same balance of power is maintained. The attitude taken infers that too many of the memberships are 1 conferred merely to satisfy individual de sires for honor and that notJ enough attention is paid to the abilities of the personnel. We derive considerable satis faction from the attitude of Eastern Colleges towards athle tic reorganization in that it bears out our statements made at the time the Gates' plan was first proposed. It is even more apparent now that nearly every institution with a major athletic schedule must inaugurate athle tic reforms or else disregard en tirely the charges of over-emphasis made against college sports. ' THE DAILY Developments in the Yale sit uation should be forthcoming before the end of the present term if changes are to be in augurated in time to take effect with the beginning of the fall season. Each college which places its athletic control on a basis which allows for the great est amount of student participa tion will aid materially in plac ing intercollegiate sports upon a stronger and more permanent basis. Pennsylvania. Cooperation Will Save The Situation In the South Agricultural prosperity can be effectively delayed by one state placing a prohibitive tax on the product of another. Re taliation is the next step. The system leads to demoralization and eventual disaster. South Dakota has placed a 5-cent tax on vegetable shorten ing. A similar bill is proposed in Wisconsin. Iowa has parsed a 3-cent tax bill. One proposed in North Dakota was . defeated. Ohio and Illinois propose to pro hibit vegetable shortening in state institutions. South Dako ta reveals the character of dis crimination by exempting corn oil. These measures are directed against cotton seed oil. It is ex clusively a southern product. The value of the seed crop to the cotton farmer is 250 million. The chief outlet of seed is oil. Eighty per cent of cottonseed oil is sold in the form of shorten ing. ' One billion two hundred million pounds were consumed in 1930. States sponsoring this legisla tion are interested in protecting their dairy and swine products. Their situation is critical. The situation in the south is critical, too. Fifty per cent of the value of cotton seed goes into oil. The plights of the western and southern farmer are identi cal. Over-production, absence of market, and production cost in excess of price. The problem will not be solved by the states legislating against each other. If South Dakota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois Iowa, and other states would lay a prohibitive tariff on the product of other states all would be fine. Pro vided they were permitted to compete in a free market in other states with the products of those states. The south is a large consumer of hog lard. Packing house pro ducts enjoy a fine market in the south. The same is true of northern dairy products. The cotton belt is the largest market for northern grain and hay. But the south could not af ford the price of northern pro ducts if it had no market for its own. Mississippi, Arkansas, Louis iana, Georgia, and Alabama could lay a dollar tax on a bushel of corn and oats. The farmers would be forced to raise their own feed. Cotton production would be curtailed, and that in itself would not be bad. The south could supply its own dairy needs by the same process. But man cannot live by bread alone, or meat, or butter. A state cannot live by itself alone tn the exclusion of others. It is not practical. It is not wise. The south is a cotton country. It needs the northern market for its by-product. The north has its grain, hogs, and cows. It needs the southern market for its surplus product. : The problem in the north is Russian wheat. No southern lard substitutes. The problem in the south is Egyptian and Indian and Rus sian cotton. Not northern grain. This is a poor time for states to start an economic wan War is not profitable. Co-operation will save the situation. Those who win a war often lost more than they win. Stormy Petrel, TAR HEEL The New -..;n; " Commission On the subject of Prohibition political parties have been formed, economic treatises have been written, and sociologic sur veys have been compiled. For more than a decade it has been the outstanding dilemma of American life. When it first be came apparent that the 18th amendment was not a success ful solution to the liquor prob lem its sponsors asked, quite reasonably, that it be given time. But the years have made clear that time alone will be un able to produce a suitable solu tion. Recently prohibition has assumed the aspects of a truly dangerous problem both be cause of its obvious evils and because of the derision of think ing men. There have been various at tempts to arrive at some con clusion as to the relative merits of prohibition, but all , for one reason or an other have failed to produce results which could be crystallized in material bene fits. Mr. Woodcock, the present Prohibition Director, has re cently forwarded a new plan of attack. He has asked various college professors to help him in his attempt to offer an effective answer to the question,- with I Professor Cabot of the Social Ethics department as chairman o the committee. In attacking prohibition from its sociologic aspects the committee hopes to find its effect upon the Ameri can civilization. This is a logi cal approach, for the amendment was passed primarily as a social benefit. From a layman's view it has not been successful as such, and it has brought in its wake a host of political and economic evils. It will lie with in the province of the commit tee to ascertain the real benefits and the real evils which have ac crued from prohibition, and to Like an oasis in the dusty desert of dried tobacco, the new Camel Humidor Pack brings you the delight of fine quality cigarettes in factory -fresh, mild con dition. Now, wherever you go, you can always be sure of getting a fresh9 throat-easy cigarette when you demand1 Camels. It's easy to tell the difference. Your sense of touch detects it as you roll a cigarette between. your fingers. Dry to bacco is stiff and crumbly. Camels are full bodied and pliant. Even your ear can tell the difference. For a dried-out cigarette crackles when you roll it. But the real test is taste and taste is causing a great nation-wide switch of z-r o- I 1 WW offer if possible correctives. How much the committee will and can accomplish is a ques tion. Other committees have soucrht the true solution and have failed, but each has con tributed something, if only to reaffirm the complexity of tho problem as it exists today. Some results can be expected from & btoud of sincere and thinking men, and some relief from the present situation can be hoped for. Their success lies largely with themselves. If they ap proach with a thesis to prove, they can accomplish nothing, but if they begin with an unbiased desire for correction, they should contribute something of value. Harvard Crimson. Mrj Chaplin And War Charlie Chaplin caustically hopes that all the old men will be sent to the front first in the next wrar. We believe that such measures would be highly effective in not only stopping the war but decreasing future struggles. We might even go Mr. Chaplin one better and sug gest sending only those persons who are above a certain rating in wealth. In other words, send the rich men first. It would be a bully war. Of course the armies might not be so huge, nor the fighting so prolonged, but it would be a good war just the same, if it ever reached the stage of actual declaration of conflict. Imagine the Fords, Raskobs, and du Ponts going over the top and throwing hand grenades at the Cotys, Stinnes's, and Krupps. Or some of the steel barons and leather magnates using some of their own products, not to men tion the wheat kings eating their own trench bread. Yes, Charlie, your and our plans would solve more interna tional difficulties than a century HflEAH the cEiffeMemeG men and women alike to Camels in the scientific new Humidor Pack. As you draw in that fragrant, mild, cool smoke, redolent with the joy of choicest Turk ish and mellow Domestic tobacco, only then da you realize the full importance of this new Humidor Pack. For scorched or dried tobacco is brash and tasteless and its smoke is unkindly hot to the tongue and throat. If you are already1 a Camel smoker you have noticed jthe improvement in this your favorite cigarette. If you don't smoke1 Camels, try them for just one day to see how much you're missing. After you've known the mild ness and delight of a really fresh ciga rette, switch back if you can. . i..............v.......-....v, ' 4 - s " ' ,. i . , -f . 'If f 'v 1 ' -.. . . . . .

Daily Trojan. c Sinclair Lewis Splits With Yale Officials The impetuous and temnep. mental Sinclair Lewis, winner cf the Nobel prize medal. had another one of his freau- tiffs, this time with the ofScb of the Sterling Memorial library at Yale university. The dispute centers arouni wiiether the noted author of ferred the prize medal to the library collection or not. Lewis contests that he stopped over in New "Haven while motoring through the country with the ex press purpose of "donating the medal to his alma mater, but changed his mind because of the seeming indifference of the li brarians. Charles E. Rush, associate li brarian, says that Lewis made no statement to the effect that he wished to present the medal to the collection, but that he flew off in a temperamental rao when the librarian did not seem to understand a question as to whether the library had a col lection of permanently loaned coins. The dispute has caused con siderable amusement among the literati ; the erratic author causes a turmoil wherever he goes, having recently figured in the head-lines by his fisticuff maneuvers with Theodore Dreiser,' author of An American Tragedy. The whole difficulty seems to be that a drought fmctions so much more speedily and efficien tly than Congress does. Sam Diego Union. New York is conducting a vigorous anti-noise campaign.
